12 A Few More Developments Regard- ing the Babcock Trial. Bell's Affidavit, Made in December, Sent to Washington Yes- terday. fn It He Charges Dyer with a Conspiracy Against the President ; And Pretends to Tell How Babeock’s Indictment Was Obtained. Dyer Appears.and Testifies Before the Clymer Gommittee. He Thinks Bell Is Not a Good Witness to Tie To, THE BABCOCK TRIAL. BELL. HE SAYS THE END I8 NOT YET. Bpeciar Dispalch to The Chicago Tribune. ‘Wasnrxarox, D. C., April 1.—The character ©f Detective Bell has been very freely discussed here aincs bis testimony, and s good many tel- egrams have beeu roceived here upon the sub- ject. The following comes from Richard Smith, at Cincinnati : Bell iy well known hers a3 s bummer and deadbeat. In confirmation of Bell's testimony, Secretary Chandler gaya he appcinted Bell at the request of the President’s and afterwards dismissed him on the Presiden’t motion, Gen. Grant teling him that 8ell was ascoundrel. 1t is imown that Bell did got access to Dyer's papers in St. Louis, and that s detective or watchman csught him in tho sc} of replacing some. It 18 also known that tho cipher he had was mostly in Lackey's hand- writing. Secrctery Chandler saya that Bell's in- ference that he (Chandler) had an understand- iug with the President that the witness was em- pioyed for Geo. Babcock was false, but Chand- ler gaid that the recommendation was written on & card to the effect that Bell was a good deteo- tive. Long atzer this, Gen. Hurlbut, of Illinois, or some other officer of rapk in the army, called at the Secretary’s ofice and saw Dell's card lving on the desk, whers- gpon the Geperal eaid thet Bell was » good spy, and was 2 valusble man to employ on secret missions requiriog detsctive talent. He had known him in the arny, and employed himusaspy. Hehad also known him a8 a solcier. After this Secretary Chandler gave Bell a place on lua_secret-service force. One Aay the President told him (the Socret: that he was mistaken about the character of Deiect- ive Bell. He had thoaght he was & good man, but had fouud that HE WaS A SCOUNDREL a0d he wanted him removed. At thia the Sec- retary oraered Bell's discharge. 1t must be said that ‘Bell will be able to substantiate many of the easential parts of his testimony by records and otber written evndence. end by iie evidence of credible witnesees, To-day, for ipstance, District-Attorney Dyer swore that Bell's chapter of his adventures in St. Lows, 80 f2r a8 they ro- 1ated to him (Dyer) were corract with ons mn- ‘¥mportant exception. That exception was as to he house where Dyer first met Eaton. Bell on his part claims that he will be able to prove EVEX MORE THAN HE HAS ALBEADY STATED. fle kept & diary of each day's operations, of all his interviews, with dates, circumstauces, sod results, and he will present that diary if pmssad by either of the Committees before which he is summoned. He clsimsthathe is now o be made the victim of a conspiracy, and that great people have combined to crush him, yet he does not appear apprebensive of the result. He says that he has an aatograph letter from Bradley that will fully prova all be has aworn respecting wim. A direot isene of veracity is thus joined petween him and Bradley, 88 the ed a card tonignt 1 ahich he denies everything.

In aninterview between a TRmUNE commis- tioner and Emery A. Storrs, published in yester- dey's issue, concerning the C. 8. Bell, whose testimony befare the Clymer Committes of Con- gress . dsmagingly implicated Babeeck sod Luckey—charging that they and a man named Bradley conspired with him to purloin from the office of District-Attorney Dyer, of §t. Louis, all the documentary testimony held by the Govern- ment sgainst Babcock—reference was made to an affidavit which had been made by Bell, in which he implicated Secretary Bristow, Bluford Wilson, snd District-Attorney Dyer io 2 plot to surreptitiously obtain private papers in the pos- sesgion of Babcock and Avery. The following i8 8 copy of the aflidavit, which was yesterday wfternoon forwarded to Washington by IMr. Storrs : ‘WASEINGTON, D., Doc, 25, 1875.—In pursuing inves- ligations in the case of John T. ng, late Revenue Agent, and charged with bribery and to fefraud the revenue, I met and becama acq ted with D.

The next morning I went to Dyer's office, and soon learned thst a éifferrnco had arisex between him and Henderson i régard to utterances of the lattor, which indicated a desire on his part to precipitate matters ero the proper time had arrived. Dser told me that Gen, Bibeock would bo indicted, and that ezre abvuld bo taed not to expose things too soon; that Henderson Lied been eager 10 bring in extraneous matter in Xe- Donald’s case, and he was determined to do the same ining on Avery's trial.

C., April L—The Special Committes on the YWhisky Prosecutions exam- ined to-day District-Attorney D. P. Dyer, of 8t. Louis, and learned from him some fresh and 1nteresting facts conoerniug the trials in which heo has figurod 8o prominently during the past eix monthe. Mr. Dyer told as fully s the Com- mittee -desired him to do the history of what paseed Detween him and the Attorney-General during tho pendency of the] proceedings against Gen. Babcock. In this statement there was pothing which cast any sdditional discredic upon the Attorney-General. Mr, Dyer said that at his interview previous to the Babceock trial with the Attorney-Genersl hers, at which the Secretary of the Treasury was pres- ent, Mr. Pierrepont told him to be very careful to allow no nnnecessary scandsl to be stirred up against the Adminiatration, but said that if Gen. Babcock was guilty he shanla be ponished. He 8aid that THE LETTER OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL to him concerning the exemption of guilty par- ties from punishment in consideration of thewr testifying to tho Government was a very great service to him., He regarded it 83 8 lettes which must inevitably in- terfere with the prosecutions of the triala if it became public, sud_ therefore ho did not show it to any person whatever, but locked it up in his desk, whero it still remains untl this tume. He did not even show it to any of his asgistants in the trials. A day or .two after re- ceiving it he was called upon by the editor of a St. Louis paper, who stated tbat a letter pur- porting to be addressed 30 bim by Attorney-Gen- eral Pierrepont had sppoared in s German paper in St. Louis. ‘The most importans testimony given by Mr. Dyer was probably the statement concerning THE GRAND JURY which presented the indictment against Bab- cock. Alr. Dyer ssid thst, .while this Grand Jury was in eeesion, he discovered that one of the members of it, 3 man named Fox, who had formerly beon Chairman of the Republican State ‘Committee of Missouri, was supplying President Grant with _information conceraing everything that transpired in the jury-room. He expressed the opinion that this maa Fox made use of his position to curry favor with the President, and that he prejudiced the President greatly lgamaz the officers at St. Louis, He said that Fox reported to the President, with the evident purpose of aestroyiag confidence in him, that he had himself taken the stand as a witness against Babcock while the question of m'e aring &n_indictment was boing considered e Grand Jury. Mr. Dyer eeid that this autcmun: was true to this extent, that he did take the stand as & witness to IDENTIFY THE HANDWRITING OF BABCOCE onthe *S8yiph* telegram, which was ib evi- denu before the jury. When hedid so tnis Fox neked whether he was giving awcm testimony, and he then took the oath as a witness, but he did not give any testimony againat Babcock, as was -reported "to the Pres- ident. Mr. Dyer said that on coming ‘o Washington after the indictment was found by tbe Grand Jury he found Mr, Fox in consultation with the highest oficor of the Government, and he learnod that a son of Alr. Fox was SHORTLY AFTELWARD APPOINTED TO A CON- SULSHIP by the President. The Committes obtained from 1r. Dyer the further fact that Fox is a brother-in-law of Col. Dent, which would seem to justify the remark of Jmlge Hoar ooncummg tho evils of brothers~ in-law on national politica. The Committee re- garded this as & somewhat siguificant piece of information, and determined at once to sub- pena Mr. an, and hear from his own lips a statement of hia conduct as a Grand Juryman and a friend of Gen. Babcock. These wero the most important points of Mr. Dyer's testimony. He returned to 8i. vonis to-night. His asaist~ ant during the Avery trial, ox-Senator Hender~ son, will be examined by the Cammittse on Mon~ day. s [To the Associated Press.) DYER'S OPINION OF BELL'S TESTIMONY. WasHINGrON, D. C., April 1.—The Committes on War Expenuum—es to-day heard ColL D, P. Dyer, the District-Attorney at St. Louis, in reference to the testimony of C. 8. Boell, the de- tective who testified yesterday. The witncas tirst met Bell in 8t. Louis, in the fall of 1875, He came to the District-Attorney’s offica onc day, and showed an envelops, with a note on the back signed ** Avery,” snd bd (witness) under- stood it to be written to Fitzroy to deliver any papers in his poesession to Bell. He under- stood that Bell was seoking evidence for the Government. Bell was to 8se Josce, ang, if possible, get the correspondence that passed be- tween Joyce, Avery, and Babcock. He wrote & note to the Warden of the jail, and asked him to deliver the papers to Bell, the bearer. Ball sub~ sequently came to St. Louis daring the time of the Babcock trisl, He intimated that he had GOT AVERY'S PAPELS FROM THE FILES of the Districs Attorney's office, and exnibited them to Avery and his wife at the Landell Hotel. The witness asked him the character of the papers, in order to ascertain the trath of the smsmnnc. Bell said he had a pencil memoran- dum from Bluford Wilson, and a dispatch from the mmxy askiog the witness to come to the Secretary’s room. Ho romembered he had had such papers in his possession, and was satisfied, from Bell’s conversation, that he knew some- thing about their disappoarance. Bell had asked if bo bad any dispatches eigned ** B. Fiach," or * Bullfinch.” Beu said he had certain docn- ments in his possession n New York, and had telngraphed for them to be forwarded to St. Lows by express. That paper consisted of a cipher, partly in his, nnd puuy in Luckoy's handwriting ; also & letter from A. B. Braoley, telling him %o come to ‘Washington and he WOULD DE CARED FOR. The substance of bis statement was that the pmponmon bad been made to him by Luckey and Babcock to abstract the testimony in the Babcock case from the District Attorney’s office., The witzess had beon very careful of his dis- patches snd letters relating to the Babcock case, because he foared some such exploit 58 was re- sorted to in the Avery case. He placed them in sbox and deposited them in the sate-deposit vaolt. Before that, Bell was ooe dayseea in the District Attorney’s office, overhauling somse papers, and was informed that nobody was al- lowed todo that 1nthe absence of Col Dyer. Bell excused himself by saying that he was buntiog for n match to light his cigar. Bell, s0on aftar the proposition to furnish this information, delivered to him the cipher &nd the Bradley letter, After the trial he returned them to BelL, and has not” gedp- them since, excopt a8 produced in the New York Herqld. These papers wore not produced till nearly the end of tho trial. The reason they were not used 1o evidence was because Luckey was SUMMONED THERE FOR THE GOVERNMENT and was finally claimed as a witness for the de- At a consultation _hetween witness and fense. bis associates. Broadhead and Eaton, 88 to the advisability of calling Bell 18 a witnesg, it was decided to wait till Luckey was put upon tho stand, and then produce Beli in rebuttal. It was understood that Bradley was there also, called by tho defense, and it was intended tbat Bell should not be broughtin as witoess-in-chief. Had the prosecution known or believed that the dofense would not call Luckoy, they would have brought Bell forward and used him as a witness-in-chief. Bell. who was in the room, asked Col. Dyer whether it was because of his supposed unreliability he was not E‘" upon the stand. Dser answered that when 0 told him be had stolen the Avery papers from the District Attorney's ottice he did not look upon him as A WITNESS NIE WANTED TO TIE TO without corraborative evidence, and he did not believe much in him till he got the papera, But 1f Luckey had been called he would certainly have put Bell on the stand in rebuttal. Bell then asked Dyer, if, in euch cases, extraordinary means Are necessary to get evidence. Dyer said he wasn't in that kind of business, and didn't feel competent to answer the question. He nover found it nocesgary, either as prosecutiog Iawyer or otherwise, to resort to such menns, either to purchase the abstraction or supproasion of evidence or any such violent and questionable tactics. That wus not his way of conducting dusiness, Dyer said Bell's testimony way SUBSTANIALLY, CORMECT 80 far as ho bad seon it printed 1 the Washing- ton papers, and so far s it referred to bim. Bell was, however, increct in locating the con- versation at the D © Aitorney’s office. 1t took place at the houso of Lucien Eaton, one of bis agsociate cunnael ELL ASSAULTED. C. 8. Bell, who yesterday testified before the Cowmittee on War Expenditures, was to-night assailed by & man named Mc!(ere, ina hotolin thie city. Bell was geated in the hotel, when Mollere entered, and watking up to him struck him o tho bead with a cane. Tho pastica were separated, and Mollere left the hotel, —_— CHICAGO. AROUND THE CUSTOM.HOUSE. THE GRAND JURY- The Grand Jury paseed & quiet day yesterday. ‘They entertained no witnesses, but leisuroly took up tho avidence heretofore offered in con- nection with Mr. Ward by Juke Rehm. That an indictment has not already beeu returned is nodoubt owing to the fact that the Grangers ‘want corroborative tostimony. Nothing further 'was accomplished yosterday, and itis s ques- tion whether Mr. Ward is reached, although Jake would donbtlesa rejoicaif the ex-District Attorney fell amidst the general shock and ruin. Even some of the Government officers cousider it as quite donbtful whether the jury find & true bill, THE NEW TBIAL. No time has been et for arguing the motion fora new trial in the Pahlman and Rush case. The Distxict Attorney has not notified Mr. Storra of his intentions, but told a TRIBUNE reporter Iast night that if Jr. Storrs was around the Custom-Hounse Mondsy, and was ready to argue his motion that he would be resdy to take it up. The Freisinger case wsa to comeup to-mor- ro,w but, if thejargument in sopport of the mo- tion for a pew trial shail bo made, it will prob- ably take the precedence ovor Freisinger's trial. DOOMEDAY. There was & ramor yesterday that next Tues- day would bea dayfit to be set down in the calendar as Doowmaday for the convicted dis- tillers, and those who, by pleading guilty. stand virtually convicted. A ‘TRIBUNE reporter learned from tho District Attorney that no day bad becn set for fixing eentences, but that the work would b sttended to after the arguments on tho motion for a mow trial in the Pahlman and Rush case aud after the Freisinger case had been dispused of. It is not pmbnma. therefore, that the seatences will be pronouanced before the last of this or the first of noxt week. Thereis on unanimous feeling, among those who stand in danger, in favor of having the dsy of doom postponed as long as possible. MATTIEW D. RAVR is still unheard of. To nse an spt qudation from a great author, which was recently appliea by tue wuy Storrs in_ his cross-exami- nation Hermaun Becker, Rapp is wmdarmg “in maiden meditation, fancy fres.” Andthe trouble is; that thers is no power vested in the virtue of any possible ex- tradition treaty which can bring him back, even though the crime with which he 18 chnrged is Emurr. A rather curious fact has como to ighit siace Rapp has fled, which is no less than that Pahlman detected him in stealing from him st the Alcohol Works, and used his influence to bave certain witnesses go before the Grand Jury and testiiy against Rapp. For some reason or other the plan failed to work. Novertheless, it is said that Rapp lesrned of the efforts Pahlman wss making, and that the Iatter held the possibilicy of anindictment againat_ his former Superin- tondent a8 an ax over his hoad with the gentle hing that 1t would possibly fall and burt some- body unless he lppau‘nd on the stand and testi- fied in his omployer's bebalf, This bit of histo- ty has come to light throngh the investigations c{ the Government officers, 1 and was picked up ‘J a TRIBUNE reporter on rounds yesterday. ‘nder all the cizcumstances it is not at all prob- able nm RBapp will hasten his return to this COLLECTOR BARVEY gmutly aesumod the duties of his office yester~ ay. The place where tho Collector holds forth had been ocompletely renovated, the ceilings having been calcimined, the carpets shaken, the paint washed, and the furniture put in such a condition as to gratify the heart of the now oc- cupant. It was a much-needed improvement. Col. Kinney transferred the oftico to Oollactor Harvey, and spent most of the day in inducting bim into its mysteries. The stamps were counted, and thoss stamp-books out of which no stamps have been gold were put into the now Collector's hands, while the partially used books were gathered together and will be scnt on to Wash-~ ington. The examination into Gen. Webster's accounts will be concluded Monday, and the re- rt will be transmitted to the Depnrtmunr_. As it was necessary to issue new commissions to some of the D-pnms. in order to Xnmmh them authonity under the now Coilecior, Mr. Harvey issued thoso documents to Mn]. ,lx.n-klm:nd1 Chief Doputy: F. B. Battershall, Cashior; E. A, Thomalen, Tobacco Scamp Deputy ; sod Division Deputies Springer and Laughlin. Others will probably bo issued to- morrow, Whilo some transfers may be made among the Doputies, it is not expacted that any dismiseals will occur for some time at lenat. 'While changes appear to bo necessary when a new Collector comes in they are quite unneces- Bary in this case, tho depusies in the office being thoronghly familier with the work, and noted for the strict performance of their dntics, A petition wss in circalation yosterday for signatures, asking the newly-appointed Collec~ tor to appoin: to 8 position in the department Mr. Caspar Butz, formerly editor of Der Westen, the Sundsy edition of the Staats-Zeitung. - ELSEWHERE, ST.

Y., Author of *The People’s Common Senss Mnunl Adviser,” etc., etc. Knowing that you are subject to a great amount of suffering, that delicucy on your part has s stroog tendency to prolong if, and the longer it is neglocted the more you have to en- dure and the more difficult of curs your case be- comes, I, a8 a physician, who am daily consulted by scores of your sex, desire to say to you that I am constantly meeting with those who have boen treated for their ailments for montha-with- out being benefited in the least, until they have become perfectly discouraged, and havo almost made up their mind never to take another dose of medicine, or be torturea by any further treat- ment. They bad rather die and have their suf- ferings ended than to live and suffer as thoy have, They say they ara worn out by suffering, and are only made worse by treatment. Of aoy- thing more discouraging, we certainly csnnof conceive, and were there no more successful mode of treating such difficuities than that tho principles of which teach the reducing and de- pleting of the vital forces of the system, when the indications dictate a treatwent directly the roverse of the one adopted for them, their case weculd bo deplorsble indeed. But, lady suffer- ers, therois a better and far more successful plan of treatment for you; one more in harmo- py with the laws and requirements of your sys- tem. A harsh, irritating, caustic trestment and etrong medicines will never cure you, If you would uso rational meane, such as common sense should dictate to overy intelligent lady, take such medicinoa 85 embody tho very best in- vigoratiog tonics and nervines, compounded with eapecial reference to your delicate system. Sach & happy combination you will find in my Favonite Prescription, which has reccived the bighest praise from thonsands of your sex. ‘Those Iangnid, tiresome soneations, crusing you to feel scarcely abls to be on your faet or ascend o fligbt of stairs; that cootinual drain thatis sapping from your eystem all your former elastici- 3, and driving thy bloom from your cheoks; that continual strain upon your vital forces that rendors you {rritable aod fretfal, may all be overcome znd subdued by a persevering use of that marvolous remedy. Irregulsrities and ob- structions to the proper working of your system are relieved by this mild and eafe means, while periodical paine, the existence of which is a sure indication of sorious discase that should not be neglected, readily yield to it, and, if its use be kept up for a reasonsble length of time, the special cause of these pains is permanently re- moved. Further light on these subjects msy be obtained from *The People’s Common Benso Medical Adviser,” in which { have devoted & large spacs to the consideration of sll forros of diseases peculiur to yoar sex. This work will be sent post-pzid to avy address on receipt of €1.50. 1My Favorite Prescription is sold by druggists. MARRIAGES. . BUGBEE~WRIGUOT—Thursday evening, March by the Rav. . 8.
